About this audiobook
Captain James Thatcher and the crew of the sloop Adventure are on a mission—to find the legendary treasure of Captain Morgan and to restore their good names.
James Thatcher is content with the life of a privateer captain. He has his ship, he has his crew, and he has the open sea. Then, with the stroke of a pen, his world is turned on its head. Britain signs an unthinkable treaty with Spain, and this is the change in the political winds that the crooked governor of Jamaica has been waiting for. In a sudden, calculated act of betrayal, Governor Pendleton brands Thatcher’s crew and much of the privateer fleet as pirates.
Other crews resign themselves to a future as outlaws and vagabonds, but Thatcher will not relinquish the honor of his men so easily. A fortune in gold and precious gems is hidden somewhere in an ancient network of Aztec waterways, enough to buy pardons for Thatcher and his crew. The mission is perilous. The map lies in the garrison capital of Port Royal. To recover it, Thatcher must risk the noose. Worse, he must risk a run-in with the one woman he can’t resist, Lady Kate Pendleton, the governor’s daughter. Even more troubling, Pendleton has launched his own venture to find the gold, and he has enlisted the savage crew of the Havoc, captained by Blackbeard himself.
With a deadly foe close on their heels, a woman of questionable loyalties at the captain’s side, and the dark mysteries of the Aztec river tunnels ahead, the crew of the Adventure must keep their courage and wits about them.
But courage and wits may not be enough to navigate the unseen horrors of the Midnight Passage.

James R. Hannibal is no stranger to deep dark secrets or hunting bad guys, having served in the US Air Force as a stealth bomber pilot and a Predator mission commander. Like Jack Buckles, James “suffers” from synesthesia, an intersection of the senses that was once considered a mental illness and often causes hyperobservance. If you bake him a cake, he might tell you that it smells blue and sticky—and you should take it as a compliment. You can learn more at TheLostPropertyOffice.com.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Pirates: The Midnight Passage by James R. Hannibal is a good old fashioned adventure that changed my view of pirates. When I thought of pirates, I thought of swashbuckling sword fights and murderous captains. No more. I have since discovered that Long John Silver didn't enjoy killing. Even Blackbeard asked permission before commanding a ship and its crew. Jim Thatcher was different still. He valued life far above gold doubloons. He only killed for self-defense and when no other option was available. His first loyalty was to the crown of England, though that loyalty was shaken when the crown refused to recognize the letters of marque of the privateers. It was then that the lost treasure of Captain Morgan appealed to Captain Thatcher so that he and his men could buy their pardons and redeem their reputations before the crown. Obtaining the map to the lost treasure was only the beginning of many deadly dangers that Jim Thatcher and the crew of the Adventure must survive. Underground water ways, strange gases, ancient puzzles, strange riddles, and forgotten civilization await this band of pirates. James R. Hannibal does a great job of describing the action. You'll swear you can see the gold glitter, hear the wind and water, feel the fire, and smell the ... you'll have to read it for yourself. What a thrill ride! Incredible! Suspenseful, vivid, humorous ...Pirates: The Midnight Passage is like a cross between National Treasure and Pirates of the Caribbean.
